Old School - Color Film From 1938 Illinois Game + Vintage Ann Arbor Footage

This comes to us by way of Michigan Today, from a 1938 university-produced recruiting movie aimed at bringing more women students to Michigan. The film includes clips of Louis Elbel conducting The Victors on the 40th anniversary of the greatest fight song in college football.

I love the marching band clock. They would have blown my mind if the pendulum would have been swinging in addition to the hands moving. I'm not sure how this would get women to come to Michigan, especially when the male cheerleader looks like he's having a "fabulous" day in the opening stadium shot. I love this old footage though. Thanks.
